How does the new Motorola Droid phone fare in the rugged terrain of the hot, humid Baja desert? Well, aside from the absence of any Verizon service, remarkably well. And much to other's concern, sans protector or case. The wi-fi feature is great and has allowed me to use the Droid...

Don't miss a thing everyone. Clint and Loni are on the way to the Baja, where the sea meets the sky. What adventure awaits? Follow SSC here to get the latest, but also make sure you get updates in real time, including photos, and what's happening on the ground by following...

(Note: Part 2 is published. Check it out for another 10 cool things) Even though I still long for the slick Sense widget-based UI offered on the HTC Android phones, I am really enjoying the Motorola. It runs Android 2.0, so it has a few new tricks and refinements abound. Last...

So far so good. I think I'm sticking with the Droid. After hearing about some of the battery life horror stories with Eris and Hero, the Moto seems like a workhorse. Yesterday, in San Francisco, I used Internet, GPS, email, social networking widgets for a few hours, and again later...

This whole Scamville thing is trending big time. The story, originated by Michael Arrington of TechCrunch, exposes the scam (and extremely obnoxious, annoying) that is Facebook "games." Little more than thinly veiled attempts to make people spend money, propegate crap on the masses and aggrevate the hell out of legitimate...

The Apple iPhone is an exceptional smartphone. It started it all. And dominates for good reason: it's so easy and fun to use. But, everyone knows the AT&T network is its Achilles heel. And Verizon is attacking it aggressively. The latest 30-second spot once again uses the infamously sparse (but legally...

Today has been quite the whirlwind day. And to top it off I finally received a Google Voice invite. More on that in a sec, but first I would say I'm busy, but I've ranted about that before, and we all agreed we're all busy, all the time. Computers and tech...

I'm not sure anyone really cares, except for hardcore Google Android fans, and the tech obsessed... like me. Sill, in case you haven't already heard (repeatedly) the new Motorola Android smartphone is now available at Verizon stores. I'm still on the fence. I need to replace my aging, 4-year...

My head has been hurting all week trying to keep up with this madness called Android. The short: Google is taking over the world, again. This time, the mobile one... cell phones... oh, make that smartphones! I don't need to go into all the details here, since you can find...
